Python help describes the *Mac* version; EasyDialogs for Windows by
Jimmy Retzlaff has slightly different arguments; there is a readme.txt
in .....\site-packages\EasyDialogs -- take a hint :-)

*should* be [you reading this, Jimmy???]. Here's another hint - this is
_open source_ software, Luke :-)

It works, it just doesn't do what you think it should do. WinDOS has a
current directory on *each* drive. Fire up a DOS box, unless you've
meddled, the prompt will show C:\something> ... this means the current
drive is C: and the current directory on C: is \something. If you type
cd d:\, this sets the current directory on D: to \, but you'll notice
that your prompt hasn't changed.

Yeah. two ideas, actually:
ONE:
try:
rtfs()
except NoSourceError:
trashthesucker()
TWO:
Keyword arguments are a thing of beauty and a joy forever, even when
they're in camelCase -- so bloody well stop counting arguments and use
them!!
